I am also experiencing difficulties booting 2.6.24-15.

ASUS P5K-E with 3 SATA drives in RAID-1 containing root and boot. 2.6.22-14 (and lower) boot fine. I have tried 2.6.24-12 through 2.6.24-15 and always get the following message:

"checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (bad gzip magic numbers); looks like an initrd"

I have tried "update-initramfs -k 2.6.24-15-generic -u" but I still get the message above.

I am able to boot from a desktop/live CD (2.6.24) and install mdadm then mount the RAID successfully, but I can't seem to boot 2.6.24 in any other way.
